Yes, Danny was killed in Pakistan. He was killed by people who were either Al-Qaeda members or linked to Al-Qaeda. Many of those doing the torturing and beheading of both Iraqis and foreigners in Iraq also claim to be Al-Qaeda members.. Those who think that it's as simplistic as "if bushco hadn't violated Geneva Convention norms, these atrocities would never have happened", are either engaging in wishful thinking or ttheir fury at bushco is clouding their ability to look at the situation rationally. The plain, blunt truth is even had America behaved impeccably, they would still have engaged in these atrocities. Such is the nature of assymetrical war.
